- A young Nigerian lady who is also a robotics and embedded system engineer came up with a smart bra.
- This invention started after she lost a loved one to cancer in the year 2017 and officially started working on the bra in the year 2019.
- The bra was launched in February 2022, with the encouragement of other medical personnel.
A young Nigerian robotic and embedded systems engineer identified as Kemisola Bolarinwa designed a smart bra to help women know their cancer status.
Statistics showed that in the year 2020, over 2 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer and about and about 685,000 women died as a result of the cancer.
The inventor, Kemisola Bolarinwa decided to embark on the journey after she lost a loved one to the cold hands of cancer.

She realized that early detection is key to treating breast cancer and together with her team, they came up with a variable solution.
Smart bra, the way forward
In an interview with Channels Television, she said: “we came up with a smart bra device to detect the early stage. Aside from detecting that, it will also check for abnormality in the breast, it will monitor the daily condition of a patient that has already been diagnosed with Breast cancer, maybe someone that has already been treated for breast cancer, the bra could also be used to monitor such a patient.”
The journey started in 2019 and after two years of research and development, Kemisola launched the first prototype in February 2022.
According to her, the research garnered a lot of supporters from a lot of people, especially those in the medical field, who encouraged and contributed as well.
The smart bra was born using ultrasound technology.

Brilliant Nigerian invents solar wall clock with illumination
Meanwhile, a brilliant Nigerian invents solar wall clock with illumination.
In the heart of Enugu, Nigeria, the remarkable young inventor illuminated the path to a sustainable future with his ingenious creation—a solar-powered wall clock.
This pioneering invention took advantage of the supply of sunlight in Nigeria and the insufficient power supply especially at night.
